Travel to Palu

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Palu

Mutiara Airport GPS -0.9185,119.9064 (IATA Flight Code: PLW) is located on the southeastern outskirts of the city (roughly 6-8 kilometers from most hotels in the downtown) and has frequent Flights to Jakarta, Surabaya, Balikpapan and Makassar, plus some regular flights into smaller airports all around Sulawesi.

The so-called "official" prepaid airport taxis, which look more like private vehicles, charge rather steep (considering the short distance) Rp85,000 fixed fare to the downtown (March 2022). City taxis are only allowed to drop off passengers in the airport, and the minimum fare for passengers going to the airport is Rp75,000 rather than regular 20,000 (the meter will probably display only Rp50,000 to 40,000 on arrival).

How to get around in Palu

Taxis in Palu are normally not hailed on the street, but are called by phone. The phone numbers of the two larger companies are +62 (451)455455 (MMU) and +62 (451)456789 (Taksi Utama). The taxis are metered, but the minimum fare, which will be charged even if the meter shows a lesser amount, is Rp 60,000 (March 2022), except for trips to the airport where higher limit applies. The dispatchers (and drivers) most likely speak little to no English, but most hotels will be happy to call a metered taxi for you, if you ask them.

Blue shuttle vanes (angkot) are plying the city roads during the daytime and roughly till 10pm. A shared ride normally costs Rp 7,000 per passenger (March 2022) and the driver will vary his route based on where his current passengers are going, so the same trip will likely be done using a different route each time. If catching an empty angkot. make sure the driver understands you just want a shared ride, not a charter (which will likely cost much more, or even more than a taxi, especially if you didn't fix the price beforehand). As this may be problematic for a foreigner not speaking at least some Bahasa Indonesia, catch another angkot (preferably one with many passengers), call a taxi or just walk, if in doubt.
